After receiving his undergraduate degree from the Univeristy of Michigan with high honors, Dr. Mapes attended the Univeristy at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. As a cum laude graduate, Dr. Mapes furthered his dental expertise and honed his skills in a post-graduate residency program at Palmetto Health in Columbia, South Carolina. Here, Dr. Mapes received advanced training in implantology (placement of dental implants), endodontics (root canal surgery), oral and maxillofacial surgery (extractions), IV sedation, and prosthodontics. For the last three years, Dr. Mapes has associated alongside New York City's top dentists. He is dedicated to continuing education and has trained with some of the nation's most forward-thinking dentists in functional occlusion/smile design, as well as cosmetic orthodontics (Six Month Braces and Invisalign). He understands that each person has a unique personality and unique dental needs and treats each patient as such. He appreciates that from the patient’s perspective, the dentist is getting about as "up close and personal" as anyone can get. For this reason, Dr. Mapes makes it one of his top priorities to make the patient comfortable and put them at ease before beginning even the simplest procedure.
Great office finally found a dentist I like in my area!
like most people, i am scared of the dentist, however, this experience was a 10+. the hygienist was thorough and patient with my fear and Dr. Mapes was kind, honest and answered all my questions. I will be seeing Dr. Mapes again, and will now consider him my Dentist. thanks again!
Very pleased with my visit and everyone I dealt with was polite and professional. I also really appreciated the updated technology and overall ease of the visit.
Great experience, going back for my white fillings.:)
This is the best office ever. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Hands down best experience at a dentist. I will be going back.
Very pleased. Nice, clean office. And very smooth with my teeth.
He was very friendly and acommodating--as was the whole staff. I would go back. Great office design as well.
Love Dr. Mapes. This is my second visit with him and I just can't believe how awesome him and his staff are. Totally righteous.
Positive overall. Bianca was nice and helpful as was Dr. Ian Mapes.
It was the best extraction i have ever day no pain.Dr. Mapes is amazing
Thought he was great! Very gentle on the cleaning, which I appreciate.
I think he's my new dentist!
Dr. Mapes listened to my concerns. He inspires confidence and I know I'm in good hands.
Amazing. Everyone there was wonderful.
Super friendly and accommodating staff, bright, clean, airy office- overall a really ideal dentist experience.
He was really nice and informative!
He was extremely short, maybe because the appointment was prepaid, he wasn't really listening and just said he couln'd get a perfect result, but I don't really want fake looking teeth, he wasn't interested in explaining.
Pain free deep cleaning and the numbness wore off by the time I got more - great!

Dr. Mapes and his staff were very attentive, friendly, and thorough. They answered all of my questions. I would recommend to others, and will be back!
Very nice and thorough job. Came out with my teeth being very clean, and knowing a lot more than when I came in. The dental hygienist was also very good and informative.
The Doc was very thorough with my examination he explained & answered all the 100 questions I asked :) His assistant & receptionist were very pleasent & helpful.
My son said that was his best Dentist experience.
Very nice Doctor and staff.
Extremely professional, efficient, and friendly. I felt like I was in good hands.
I liked the location, the design and cleanliness of the place. I thought that the staff seemed sincere and the girl that cleaned my teeth (with bangs) was really great and gave me some great tips. Dr. Mapes was nice and personable and I'll stick with this place in the future.
lovely!
Very informative
Polite, friendly and professional.
Complete evaluation and detailed information. Exactly what I needed.
Perfect, highly recommended.
great dentist, really kind and professional
Really great first experience. Not too much chit chat and wasn't super cold, just right! The office is designed well and the equipment is new and nice. Netflix was queued up on the TV so I suppose you could have put in a request if you wanted. Rest of the team was very good too.
He was very gentle and nice! I recommend a lot!
it went well; the staff was good; and your website and appointment scheduling a pleasure. The doctor's frankness about a tooth problem and or replacement was greatly appreciated.
I've had a number of procedures after finding Dr Mapes through ZocDoc. I feel really lucky, since I don't know anyone who would recommend their dentist. Dr. Mapes and the staff are professional, kind, and informative. I can be a pain wanting to know everything about the procedures I'm undergoing and all of the alternatives (bit of a Dr. Google am I), and Dr. Mapes gladly and patiently explains everything. I recommend him highly - even though I'll be moving to JC soon, I will still come to Wmsburg to see him!
Everyone was very nice and professional.
Great, contemporary experience all around. Not your grandmother's dentist, although she would probably appreciate the experience as well.
Dr Mapes and his staff are friendly and very professinal. I will highly recommend Dr Mapes.
Great experience. Direct, professional, and reassuring.
They're great. Dr Mapes and Jasmine and the kind front desk woman (who's name I've forgotten, sorry!) are all so good and caring. Highly recommended.
So far so good - my son who's the patient (braces) doesn't mind coming back for his fittings :)
My boyfriend has a big fear of dentists(so much so that I had to go with him to his appointment.) He said this was the first time he's been to the dentist when it wasn't at all painful. Everyone at the office was very friendly and accommodating.And it's a very nice office. We highly recommend Ian Mapes and his office.
He was professional and nice. He did a great job of explaining all aspects of the procedures.
They have been professional and extraordinarily kind to my husband and me. We're sold. Good people, good work.
I went for a routine cleaning. His office is incredibly nice, and staff more than pleasant and informative. Mapes did a thorough teeth exam looking for problem areas. He found a couple and comfortably explained (using digital images and Xrays taken on the spot) what the issues were, and what could be done. Then the cleaning went totally fine, and i was then told about their extraordinary in-office dental plan, that i'm going to sign up for in lieu of me not having dental insurance. All in all, awesome.
professional, great atmosphere, and he listened which I always find important.
Great location, office, and dentist.
I have been with Dr. Mapes for almost 2 years and couldn't imagine seeing another professional. Flexible, positive and informative demeanor every time. From cleanings, to check-ups, to whitening to 6 month smile (braces), he is a great Dentist.
He was wonderful! He looks very young but carries himself in a professional manner. I was impressed.
Excellent and thorough. Best dentist I've ever been to (and unfortunately, I've been to many).
Chicest dentist's office ever.
Dr. Mapes was excellent. He addressed all the issues I was concerned about and put me at ease. My cleaning was quick, easy and thorough. The office is also well designed, not your usual mundane dentist office. Highly recommended.
Very pleasant experience. Professional and friendly staff. No wait, clean and modern facilities, convenient location. Overall the best experience I have had at a dentist office.
Visit was better than I expected. Office is amazing, staff is amazing, and Dr. Mapes was incredible, at understanding my smile concerns and addressing fixing them. Can't wait to start my treatment.
Nice new office, pleasant staff, my teeth cleaning was done fast(they have great new equipment) and left my teeth squeaky clean:)
Great experience I will be back!
Another great visit.
Dr. Mapes and his staff were friendly, professional and accommodating.
he seemed really knowledgeable and was nice
Dr. Mapes is the best! Of course everything went well....
The office was beautiful, and the staff - excellent.
Today was the 3rd time my teenage son visited Dr.Mapes. He has his braces put on. Even though he hates the idea of wearing braces, my son really likes Dr.Mapes and his bedside manners. So far so good. Thumbs up!
He was really great. I was nervous because I haven't been to a dentist in a really long time, but he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He was fast, attentive and a nice guy. The office is nice, high-tech and cool. Plus the $99 cleaning/xray deal was what sold me in the first place. Plus they have a payment plan, which is nice. I've already recommended my friends to see him. Thank you!
Great, personal service, attentive staff... Will recommend to friends.
Friendly, professional, kind, in a word: Perfect!
Thought enough of him to have my daughter come over and make an appointment.
Very nice
Ian is great - really understands his patients needs for not feeling any pain during the visit.
So far, so good! Today was our second time in the office and we were very satisfied. Dr.Mapes took time to answer our questions - which is very appreciated.
This Doctor is very efficient and knows what he's doing. I am very pleased
There is not much I can say about Ian Mapes, DDS by just seeing him once. He was very nice and so was his staff. They were all professional and pleasant to deal with. The doctor took time to explain the procedure and then he answered my questions promptly via email when I had some follow up inquires regarding the procedure we discussed. I am new to ZocDoc so I am not sure how the feedback feature works. I am hoping, it will let me leave a follow up feedback once the procedure I chose for my teenage son is complete, since it is hard to tell whether you would or would not recommend a professional at this stage of the game. For now, he does get my thumbs up!
5 stars hands down. Dr. Mapes is great, his office is state of the art, and the whole check in, check out process was as smooth as can be. Highly recommended and will definitely be my go-to for dental problems.
My first appointment with Dr. Mapes went great! He answered all of my questions and I have a follow-up appointment next week with him. I also got a free whitening kit!
Very friendly office. I received good service.
He was very thorough and professional; he explained in detail what I was looking at on the monitor when my x-ray was taken. I would highly recommend him, he is a true gentleman. The entire staff was also very friendly and warm!
This is by far the best dental experience I've had.
